The paper analyzes the spliceosome, intronome, and splicing efficiency in three extremophilic red algae, finding reduced spliceosome components, low splicing efficiency, and conserved splice site sequences.

This study identifies neutral genomic integration sites in Cyanidioschyzon merolae and demonstrates uniform transgene expression across different positions.

The paper identifies stable intronic RNAs (sieRNAs) in Cyanidioschizoon merolae that explain the preservation of introns by encoding functional non-coding RNAs involved in stress response and gene regulation.

This study shows that Bmc1 and Pof8 promote 2'-O-methylation of U6 snRNA and identify a non-canonical snoRNA guiding this modification.
